DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UT Southwestern Physician Scientist Oncology Training Program will provide fellows and residents who have finished their clinical training in oncology the opportunity and protected time to develop the technical and Intellectual skills for a successful laboratory based oncology research program. The program will accomplish this by providing highly Individualized mentorship, the opportunity to train in the research laboratories of one of our internationally renowned faculty and up to three years of stipend support during the years of their research training. Specifically, the goals of the program are to support physicians who have finished their subspecialty clinical training in oncology and train them in lab-based translational oncology research, by providing (a) training in the laboratory skills necessary to investigate the pathogenesis and biology of cancer, (b) a rigorous mentoring and didactic program in the biology of cancer, biostatistics, ethics, and regulatory issues, (c) and training in the investigation of basic cancer questions which are clinically relevant, and in the translation of clinical observations into hypothesis based laboratory questions. Trainees will be mentored primarily by scientists who participate in one of the five programs in the Cancer Center, but will also have secondary, clinical research resource faculty mentors to ensure that the trainee develops the clinical skills and expertise necessary to succeed in a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of clinically relevant cancer questions. Unique opportunities of the program include the outstanding faculty of Cancer Biology Training Program for pre-and post doctoral PhDs within the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, a Specialized Program of Research Excellence in Lung Cancer, and a Program Project Grant on the Concerted Chemical, Biophysical and Molecular Biological Attack of Intracellular Pathways Relevant to Human Cancer. 20 laboratory mentors representing 15 different Departments and Centers are committed to this program, as are 11 clinical resource mentors. A Steering Committee consisting of 7 senior physician and scientist leaders in the Cancer Center will provide oversight and direction, and administrative support will be provided by the Cancer Center. RELEVANCE: The goal of this program is to produce top-quality physician scientists who are committed to an academic career in patient-related basic and/or translational oncology research.

描述（由申请人提供）： UT 西南医师科学家肿瘤学培训计划将为完成肿瘤学临床培训的研究员和住院医师提供机会和受保护的时间，以培养成功的基于实验室的肿瘤学研究计划的技术和智力技能。该计划将通过提供高度个性化的指导、在我们国际知名教师之一的研究实验室进行培训的机会以及在研究培训期间提供长达三年的津贴支持来实现这一目标。具体来说，该计划的目标是通过提供 (a) 研究癌症发病机制和生物学所需的实验室技能培训，支持完成肿瘤学亚专业临床培训的医生，并对他们进行基于实验室的转化肿瘤学研究培训，(b) 癌症生物学、生物统计学、伦理学和监管问题方面严格的指导和教学计划，(c) 调查与临床相关的基本癌症问题以及将临床观察转化为假设的培训基于实验室的问题。受训者将主要由参与癌症中心五个项目之一的科学家进行指导，但也会有第二临床研究资源教师导师，以确保受训者发展在多学科领域取得成功所需的临床技能和专业知识。研究临床相关癌症问题的方法。该计划的独特机会包括生物科学研究生院内针对博士前和博士后的癌症生物学培训计划的杰出教师、肺癌卓越研究专门计划以及协调化学、生物物理的计划项目资助和与人类癌症相关的细胞内途径的分子生物攻击。代表 15 个不同部门和中心的 20 名实验室导师以及 11 名临床资源导师致力于该计划。由癌症中心的 7 名高级医生和科学家领导组成的指导委员会将提供监督和指导，癌症中心将提供行政支持。 相关性：该项目的目标是培养致力于患者相关基础和/或转化肿瘤学研究学术生涯的顶尖医师科学家。
